Rejected petition End defined contribution scheme for central gov. Inc. MP’s and Civil servants

Having ended most defined benefit schemes for new members. Force central government to take their own medicine, meaning future changes to pension impact central government to the same level it does the citizens of the country they are working for.

More details

Successive government legislation has led to the disappearance of defined benefits scheme in private industry, government response to this has been to showcase how good defined contributions can be. Yet the government pension scheme remains as a defined benefit scheme. This should scrapped making the costs per employee, inc MP’s more transparent and showing that MP’s really do believe that defined contribution schemes are as good as defined benefit.
